VIEWSONIC ND5000 - Manual (Page 6)

ViewSonic ND4200/ND5000 2
Two Modes of Operation
Standalone
The setup allows the ND4200/ND5000 Network Display to act as an independent
network device controlled by one server.
TAS Managed
You can purchase Tivella Administration Server (TAS) separately through Tivella
(www.tivella.com or a Tivella dealer/reseller). A TAS server should be used to
configure and manage multiple Network Displays remotely. TAS provides
centralized scheduling of video content presentation on multiple Network Displays,
as well as management and seamless operation of a Cisco
® ACNS Content
Distribution Networking infrastructure if one is installed. This configuration greatly
reduces maintenance overhead, when TAS and the Network Display are connected
to the network (LAN/WAN) with the TAS acting as a manager for multiple Network
Displays.
